Hi there, I have file name which is called for example
Quote:
4jl5kljza8100pFileName.pdf
and I want to remove until F, but I want to do this by character for example

fileName.removeBySpesificCharacter("F"); and I want to get back the result like this

FileName.pdf

The reason why I am deleting by spesific character because of my OID generate randomly.

What I have tried:

I have tried to find any solution but I couldn't.

[fixed, thanks to zemiak123]
You may use the String.indexOf[^] method. Try
Java
static String untilChar(String strIn, int chr)
{
  int index = strIn.indexOf(chr);
  if ( index != -1 )
  {
    strIn = strIn.substring(index);
  }
  return strIn;
}

public static void main( String arg[] )
{
  String s = "4jl5kljza8100pFileName.pdf";
  System.out.println( untilChar(s, 'F'));
}

> "I want to remove until F"
so correct is
  //strIn = strIn.substring( 0, index );
    strIn = strIn.substring( index );
but what if generated ID contains F ?

Is there any method in java cut string value by spesific value?

Did you tried to use RegEx ?
This RegEx "[A-Z].+" match from first uppercase til the end.

Just a few interesting links to help building and debugging RegEx.
Here is a link to RegEx documentation:
perlre - perldoc.perl.org[^]
Here is links to tools to help build RegEx and debug them:
.NET Regex Tester - Regex Storm[^]
Expresso Regular Expression Tool[^]
RegExr: Learn, Build, & Test RegEx[^]
Online regex tester and debugger: PHP, PCRE, Python, Golang and JavaScript[^]
This one show you the RegEx as a nice graph which is really helpful to understand what is doing a RegEx: Debuggex: Online visual regex tester. JavaScript, Python, and PCRE.[^]
This site also show the Regex in a nice graph but can't test what match the RegEx: Regexper[^]
